Much interest attaches TO Mr. Chamberlain
Irish visit, because be represents the mlh'ap'
second of the Liberal Unionists. hitherto Mr.
Chamberlain has chiefly explained his principles
Of Irish reforms; it is expected now that he VIII

In view Of the expected change of the Briush
Ambassador at Paris there is some talk In onlclai
circles respecting Lord LyOns's successor. olf

French policy in Egypt Lord Lytton, douDtIeSs
